      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you SSH into a host you can use ESXCLI, there should be no limitation: &lt;A href="https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcli.ref.doc_50%2Fesxcli_software.html" title="https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcli.ref.doc_50%2Fesxcli_software.html"&gt;vSphere Documentation Center&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Its all about authentication if you have proper credential you can connect your box from&amp;nbsp; rCLi ,vMA and remote ESXi also.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One more thing you can use all the feature of VMware in the Evaluation&amp;nbsp; license.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
